Episode XIX: To Further Highness

Listening to classes in the classroom, I think about Anne and Cranell dueling.

Beyond one mountain range, but if you fight as you are now, the situation remains the same that Anne loses first. While I followed Anne's archery after the duel, I was comparing Cranell to Anne's skill, but my agony grew stronger. I might have to spread my hands a little more.

"Sauge, is that a thought? My classes must be boring for you, called genius."

An old instructor who teaches magic theory looks grumpy and talks to me.

Basic classes are taught by a female Nakita instructor, but when they become professional, another instructor follows them in this way.

Magic theory is taught by this old Foz instructor.

If you ask me if I'm bored, I have to say I'm bored.

Anyway, for me, it's nothing but a mistake, a childish, old stink.

"That's not true. I'm listening."

Naturally, I can't say I'm bored, I laugh.

Nevertheless, I failed. The usual me would have pretended to listen. I didn't know it was empty enough to be pointed out by the instructor.

He seems to care more about Anne than he imagined.

"Well, then try to solve this problem. It's a matter of improving the efficiency of magic ceremonies. If you listen to my class, you'll be able to solve it."

An old Foz instructor describes the problem on the blackboard and invites me.

The blackboard says activate the procedure after eliminating the waste of existing magic and reducing the number of steps.

The problem with this one was the magic of about twenty lines of process number, which produces light that illuminates the surrounding area.

"I understand. I'll be right back."

Perhaps this is a problem that we are not going to solve. At least what you haven't done in class.

It's easy to solve. The problem is that this old instructor has to give an understandable level of answers.

About five lines if made with the shortest efficiency. However, I dare to use only a simple formula and finish it with a longer but easier configuration.

"What do you say, instructor?

The magic ceremony that shortened the twenty steps to ten was described on the blackboard.

Test your understanding of the procedure as you look at the students' faces. In this classroom, the majority of things I didn't even understand in this configuration.

"No. I've never seen a ceremony like this. You wrote it right. Out of the question. In the first place, I told you to be more efficient, but you cut the key part. This won't even activate. Whatever the spear arm is, it still looks like magic."

With heartfelt joy, the instructor makes a mockery.

Didn't you see this guy wrote so gently?

There is no point in considering incompetence so far, even though we have taken it into account.

"I see, instructor. Okay, let's experiment. Lyle, you need to use this technique."

Doesn't make sense if you do it yourself, or if Kuna and Anne, who are supposedly my people, execute it.

Then you'd better leave it to him, who's burning a sense of confrontation with me. The fourth-place person won't be bothered to fail, and he'll be fine because he understands the ceremony.

"Do you want to nominate me?" Fine. "

A bright light lights up at the tip of his finger when he performs the sorcery written on the blackboard by a fourth-ranked person.

I am not only shortening the process, I am also amplifying the efficiency and effect of magic conversion. No matter how much you complain, if you get results like this, you can't complain.

From the whole class, the eyes of envy converge on me.

"... oh, it's passed"

"Thank you for that."

"Earlier, that was, you know. Yeah, I said that to make him do his tricks. Even I knew I was making it more efficient."

The old instructor makes one excuse after another even though he hasn't even heard about it.

"I know. The instructor can't possibly not understand the procedure I wrote. I'm going back to my seat."

"Yeah, you can go back. But it looks like you're lacking focus on the class, so be careful."

"I'm sorry for your loss"

I returned to my seat in self-disgust that I had done it.

"Sauge, I was able to get the instructor in earlier and it was cool."

When class was over, Kuna and Anne rushed over.

This class is the last one today, so the other students are leaving.

Some people called out to me to teach me magic next time.

"Stop it, Anne. I'm dying of self-loathing."

"Reflect, Sauji. Make enemies again for nothing."

Anne snaps her neck, but Kuna nods with a convincing face.

"Why? The sausage ceremony was beautiful, and the wrong one was the instructor."

"I guess. But I knew the instructor, which technique I was going to write and end the connection, but the instructor's level was lower than I imagined, so I made a scene. This is my mistake for misreading power."

Yes, I wrote the procedure to the extent that even monkeys could understand it, but it was actually about cats. Properly, it wouldn't have been a problem if it had been written to such an extent that even cats could understand it.

"So. Afterwards, the second failure I got hot when I was told I was down. I shouldn't have embarrassed the instructor there. I should have accepted it honestly. Absolutely, they made me an enemy. There's nothing good about turning the instructor against the enemy."

"Right. That guy definitely has it in his roots just now. They're going to harass me plainly later."

"Besides. It's not a good idea for that instructor to be licked by the guys in our class. The whole class may lose focus in the magic class and consequently make a difference from the aristocratic class"

I don't like my immaturity.

More, I need to grow up.

"You're thinking about Sauge until that happens. I'm so full of myself."

"Well, let's forget it's done. Anne, Kuna. Today is the third day of class. Tomorrow we will dive into the underground labyrinth again."

"Yes! I will give you a cancer rank!

"Right. We have to work hard. Cranell's arm, it was better than I imagined."

What do you care? I've been busy this week.

On the first day, Cranell sold me a fight, and on the second day, a duel. The third day ended when I thought I had finally settled down.

Four days from tomorrow I will try the underground labyrinth.

"So, but from today until Anne's duel in two months, I'm going to make it quite impossible. You saw me fight with Cranell. I think you figured it out, but he's strong. At the moment, Anne and Cranell's skills themselves are almost mutually reinforcing. It is impossible to override the difference in rank. At the very least, if you don't get the same rank 2 as him, it won't even be a battle."

Anne and Kuna swallow the sauce.

They will also see me and Cranell fight and realize that my words are right. That's why I got the duel.

"Rank 2 senior I defeated at the admissions ceremony. That guy, he's been called a genius since the beginning of this school, but, like Lyle in our class before enrollment, he was pretty qualified, and it still seemed to be too advanced to be rank two. You know how hard it is to give it to Rank 2 in two months?

To tell the truth, I wanted six months.

Whatever it takes to secure the necessary Demon Stone, but to be Rank 2, Demon Stone is not enough. I need to build up my battle experience superimposer.

"Sauge, does that mean giving up?

"No. I'm telling you to make a pretty impossible exploration but bear with me. will truncate some margin"

If you die from the age of the game, it'll all be over. We had secured quite a safety margin in this world, and since we've been here, we've even increased the margin.

If you don't cut that margin, you won't get to Rank 2.

Anne looked alternately at me and Kuna's face.

Perhaps I would have accepted even an unscrupulous quest on my own. But that would put me and Kuna at risk. I care about that.

"Sauji, I'm a jerk. I want to be strong a little bit faster. Even if it's not about Anne. That's why I wanted to be strong enough to help my brothers bring them back."

Kuna declares forcefully.

"Me too. I want to be strong a little faster. I can't protect what's important."

Yes, it is true that impossible exploration is dangerous. But the emphasis on safety slowly becomes stronger. It's not like there's no risk in that. Remaining long and weak is also dangerous in some ways. Being strong fast is also effective in terms of safety.

"Sauge, Kuna...... thanks. I want to be strong, too. I want to be strong enough to beat no one. So risk your life together, Sauge, Kuna"

Momentum lifts Anne's head. Me and Kuna laugh together.

"Don't keep your head down with that."

"That's right. We are the tail of the Devil's Sword."

Take pains together and risk your life for your friends. That's the real party.

"And so on. I'm going to work out a few more ideas on the day I don't dive into the dungeon."

"Now, Sauji's giving me an audition, isn't he?"

"Yeah, after the audition, I'll add another schedule. The truth is, I was going to suggest it after we got along a little better. Long-term stuff, so if we don't get started now, we're not gonna make it to the duel."

That's what I say, I take out the therapeutic needle I made out of Mithril. It has a diameter of about 0.5mm and a needle about 10cm long.

"Acupuncture. Now I'll spend two months correcting Anne's magic circuit to increase the circulation efficiency of the magic."

"Correcting magic circuits? Is that possible? I heard that the magic circle is a world of talent, and it's useless to make an acquired effort."

Anne gives me a startled look.

Naturally, too.

When performing magic, circulate magic power to the magic circuits in your body. There are individual differences, but they are much smaller, and they squander their magic powers in the process.

Poor circuit performance reduces the amount of magic that has increased resistance, delays the activation of the magic itself, and causes damage to the body.

Everyone wants a smooth circulation of magic.

If you can do that, you consume less magic than people, and then you can activate magic quickly. But the reality is harsh. It is said that it depends on innate magic circuits and cannot be helped by effort.

"Anne, what are you more surprised about now, Sauji? We need to forget about common sense. If you say you can do it, you can do it."

That's right, Kuna. I know very well.

"Wow. If we can do that, we can go up another step."

Anne is excited to take my hand and shake it.

I'm glad you're happy.

"But Sauji. If you can do such amazing things, why haven't you done them before?"

"Damn, that's"

A little, hard to say. Anyway, I've just recently been stabbed with a nail for something similar.

"... because you need to see naked. I put a dot hole in it with a needle and pour magic into it. Really, it's a delicate task. It will require both a magical flow and visualization of the flesh. Instead of just separating one piece of cloth, making an error, and fixing the magic circuit if it fails, it could break. If it's true, I was going to do it after I created a relationship where you could think I could show you naked."

Yes, and dot holes generally exist in really tough places, such as at the base of the thigh or under the heart.

It naturally embarrasses me.

"Sauji, like before, you don't actually have to look at it or do you?

"I can't do it 100%. And as I said earlier, if you fail, you'll cripple the magic circuit. I don't want to reduce your success rate by even 1%."

"At least the underwear."

"It's better not to because when your body is tightened, it subtly distorts the flow of magic. It's really delicate to punch a hole in the dot that makes a 1mm error fatal."

Kuna blushes and trembles.

I look at Anne, but she's blushing too.

And he grips my sleeve with his face down and squeals softly.

"Sauge, please. If it's a sausage, well, you can be seen."

That is Anne's readiness.

Then you have to answer that as a man.

"Okay. Anne, let's answer that courage.... What about Kuna?

Speaking to me, Kuna trembled and her fox ears stood pinned.

"You're going to a more dangerous place than ever."

"Yes, to reach Rank 2, fight dangerous demons"

"Ugh, then, if you don't get strong, this will turn you down, and pull everyone's legs and stuff sucks, but I'm embarrassed."

Kuna turns her eyes around and holds her head.

"Kuna, if you don't like it that much, you can say no. Kuna is strong."

"Ugh... I've made up my mind. Ask me, too."

It was a ready eye.

"Don't do what you can, and I don't want to regret it when I say it. So, Sauji, please. So, don't ever look at me with nasty eyes. Really, it's just a cure!

"Of course."

With a bright red face on his face, Kuna comes stuffed.

Such a kuna seems oddly adorable.

"If you take off your clothes, don't hit me while suddenly saying 'hehe, I'll smash my polar needle first'!

"Kuna, shall we talk carefully next time? What the hell does Kuna think I am?"

Some of my daily routine, but this is terrible.

I smile bitterly and then open my mouth.

"Anyway, I promise. I see them naked, but not with nasty eyes."

I promise you both.

At least let's try not to put it on the table.

Come on, how far can you keep it down with my reason?
